What Hbm's Nuclear Tech Mod works with.
| Platform | Java Edition |
|---|---|
| Loaders | Forge |
| Minecraft versions | 1.7.10 |
| Environment | Client, Server |
Hbm's Nuclear Tech Mod is a Forge mod for Minecraft Java Edition that builds a full tech tree around atomic science: fission and fusion reactors, missiles and artillery, ore processing chains, and radiation as a real environmental hazard rather than set dressing. It runs on both the client and the dedicated server, and it needs no other mods to load. The one fact that governs every install decision here: it still targets Minecraft 1.7.10.
What Nuclear Tech Mod adds to Minecraft
- A long tech progression tree spanning dozens of machines and multiple reactor types
- Nuclear reactors modeled on real designs, including a Chicago Pile style reactor, an RBMK, and fusion reactors
- Nuclear bombs, guided missiles, and artillery for large-scale destruction
- Turrets, traps, and other automated defenses
- Ore processing, part assembly, and oil refining machines
- Abandoned structures and dungeons to explore for loot
- Radiation, flammable gas, and lung disease modeled as mechanics that can injure or kill a careless player
The nuclear theme is played straight rather than as a joke item pack. Reactors can meltdown, radiation spreads and lingers, and several late-game machines are genuinely dangerous to stand near without protective gear. That depth is also why the tech tree takes real time to climb; this is a long-form progression mod, not a quick weapons add-on.
Installing Nuclear Tech Mod on Forge
- 1.Install Forge for Minecraft 1.7.10.
- 2.Download the Nuclear Tech Mod jar from its Modrinth page.
- 3.Launch the 1.7.10 Forge profile once so the mods folder exists, or create it manually.
- 4.Drop the jar into the mods folder and relaunch.
- 5.For multiplayer, put the same jar and version in the server's mods folder too, since NTM needs to run on both sides.
Compatibility with other mods
Not Enough Items handles NTM's recipe list, which matters because the mod adds a large number of crafting and machine recipes that are hard to track without it. NTM also uses the Ore Dictionary, so it shares equivalent materials with most other 1.7.10-era tech mods, and it has optional OpenComputers support for monitoring and controlling machines. The trade-off is the flip side of the version lock: NTM only combines with other mods still built for 1.7.10, not with anything from a current modpack.

Questions about Hbm's Nuclear Tech Mod.
5 questions
Which Minecraft version does Hbm's Nuclear Tech Mod support?
Only 1.7.10. Every build on Modrinth, including the newest one, targets the Forge 1.7.10 loader, and there is no Fabric, NeoForge, or current-version release. HbmMods keeps patching the mod for that version instead of porting it forward.
Do I need Forge to run Nuclear Tech Mod?
Yes. Nuclear Tech Mod is a Forge-only mod for Minecraft 1.7.10, and Forge needs to be installed on a matching 1.7.10 profile before the jar will load.
Does Nuclear Tech Mod need to be installed on the server too?
Yes. It changes world generation, block behavior, and radiation mechanics that only work when the same version of the mod runs on both the client and the server, so a multiplayer server needs a matching install.
Does Nuclear Tech Mod have any required dependencies?
No. It installs on its own once Forge is set up. Not Enough Items is recommended rather than required, since it makes the mod's large recipe list far easier to look up while playing survival.
Is Hbm's Nuclear Tech Mod safe to download?
Yes, when it comes from Modrinth or the HbmMods GitHub repository. Both are the project's own pages, the source code is public under the LGPL-3.0 license, and there is no reason to look for it on a third-party mirror site.
